I scored a tilt steering column out of a 1992 geo tracker LSi
« on: February 23, 2006, 11:55:42 PM »
I went to the pick and pull the other day to get a few things, and I found a suzuki sidekick jx 16 valve, but it had been stripped of everything (engine transmission wiring harness, dash) including the 26 spline front axle I have been looking for >:(. Anyways, I look behing it, and there was a 1992 geo tracker LSi. It was an 8 valve, but the power steering and steering box had been removed, along with a bunch of random stuff. Then I looked inside it, and I saw that it had a steering wheel that is in better shape than the one I have , and best of all, it was connected to the tilt steering column I have been looking for (so I can steer with my knees while on the freeway ;D). So I pull it out of the car, which has only 102000 on it, and take it to the front, where I pay $47 for it, and then I take it home. I was mainly wondering how common these tilt steering columns are, and if they are desireable to have over the fixed position one.
Runnin' it stock with 225/75R15s and an unmodified 8valve TBI motor (I need a doug thoroley header and a cam) (more power) (1.6 liters of madness) (vroom + sewing machine sounds)

I don't think that option was ever available in the UK. Was it ever fitted to Kicks?

Don't know about the 'Kicks but the '92 parts car (Tracker) I bought also has one that I'm thinking of swapping into my '96 to do away with the airbag issue. Airbags worry me off road although I've yet to have one deploy while wheeling.

'96 Tracker LWB 4x4, +4.5 Calmini/Boondox, +3 Boondox BL, 31x10.50 (wife rolled)

I have yet to install it, but it is nice to know it is a nice feature. The suzuki sidekick that was in the pick and pull had a tilt wheel, so they do come in the sidekicks. BTW, I will also have an extra ignition switch, combination switch, and steering column when I am done installing the tilt wheel, If anyone needs any of these parts, let me know, and we could work a deal.
